This review is from: Who Is Mike Jones? (CD + Ltd. Bonus Chopped & Screwed Version) (Audio CD)

I removed 1 star from the 5 because the album is not perfect (few are). I removed 2 stars because Mike's nauseating marketing scheme of mentioning his name, phone number, and website over and over again on the album just gets ridiculous. His selfish promotion gets in the way of the music itself, a cardinal sin in this longtime hip-hop fan's opinion. Rap/H-H may have been founded on bragging and boasting, and that's all good, but I don't recall ever feeling like an artist was spamming me with advertisements during a song/performance in this quasi-hypnotic, Don King-like self-promotional style.
Half the songs on the album start off with the mention of "Mike Jones!!" or "Who is...Mike Jones?!" The last song, titled "Grandma", starts off "Oh Grandma. Mike Jones!!". Safe to say this song won't make the rotation in the Escalade. I know he explains his marketing scheme in "Grandma", but the fact is the scheme ruins the music...and the music is what we bought the album for.
Mike Jones gets out-rhymed by Slim Thug on "Still Tippin". Mike, you can't repeat hooks from other songs ("Back Then...") and still consider that rhymin'...not when you say the same thing 4 times. Work on that before your next album, please.
The Screwed and Chopped disc is off the chain though. Big up to Michael 5000 Watts - what it do baby!

"I feel sorry for the 13yr old teenagers who lovin him, tried to tangle with the shark but I'm sorry he doesn't swim." -Chamillionaire. Who?? Dyke Jones Honestly people, How can you defend this played out wannabe lyricist (4yrs now). For anyone that gave this album one star, you're all certified geniuses - all others ... need to get their head examined or go and do some background research. If you do, you'll find out how cake and overused this man's raps are. I've been listening to DJ Screw (S.U.C.) Swisha House, B.H.O, C.C.C., Wreckin Yard, Freestyle Kings and just about every texas (houston mainly) rap/freestyle/screw group since 2000, maybe earlier. At any rate, Mike Jones entered sometime in 2002 if I recall correctly - SINCE 2002 - Mike Jones has been using the same lyrics, style, excessive name usage and reusage of other rappers previous statements or cuts of, tangled with another in an attempt to form his own "creative" style but instead comes out sounding like outtakes from american idol auditions (thankfully mike jones doesn't attempt the art of dance in adddition to rap).

As for people praising the song "Still Tipping" Featuring Slim Thug & Paul Wall. This is not only the remix of the original Still Tippin, the remix and the original have both already been used an 2 other albums before who is mike jones. One version featured Chamillionaire instead in place of mike jones and w/o Paul Wall (unfortunately) but Chamillionaire's verse was 1,000x better than Mike Jones's reused flow.

Back Then? Re-used line from Still Tippin and from just about every Mike Jones verse or song as the hook.

Reccomendation, use both cds for cupholders, mini-frisbies, wutever, a good laugh perhaps. Then go and pick-up Chamillionaire's Mixtape Messiah or Paul Wall & Chamillionaire's - Get Ya Mind Correct or Controversy Sells.
